Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

As an old resident of the courtyard and the former lord of the courtyard, he knew the residents in the courtyard very well and was clear about the ownership of the houses.

In his memory, the house where He Yushui lived had been the He family's ancestral home since the time of He Daqing, and it was also a private house recognized by the street. When did it become the Zhou family's house?

He frowned and asked back: "Zhou Hui..."

"You must have made a mistake..."

"I remember this house has always been the He family's ancestral home. When did it become your house?"

Zhou Hui looked at Yi Zhonghai and answered confidently: "Second Master..."

"I am absolutely not mistaken."

"Since yesterday, this house belongs to my Zhouhui."

"I personally completed the house exchange with Dongzi from the front yard on the street, and even got the house certificate."

After saying that, he took out the certificate that the house belonged to the Zhou family's private residence, which was the real estate certificate in later generations.

Yi Zhonghai also had such proof. He knew it was true after just one look. His puzzled expression became even stronger, and he continued to ask, "How come I didn't know about such a big thing?"

"I'm Zhuzi's godfather. How could Zhuzi secretly exchange the house for you if I didn't agree?"

"No, I don't agree with this..."

"Change it back for me when Zhuzi comes back."

Zhou Hui looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he were a fool, and took back his own house certificate from him before speaking: "Second Uncle, I think you heard it wrong..."

"I didn't say I would exchange houses with He Yuzhu..."

"I remember just now clearly saying that we were exchanging houses with Dongzi in the front yard."

“And the house exchange took place in front of the street witnesses.”

"Starting from yesterday, my defense in the front yard belongs to Dongzi."

"This house in the middle courtyard belongs to me."

"Dongzi is so generous that he lets me live in the front yard temporarily without having to move."

"We'll move in after the house in the middle courtyard is renovated."

"From the beginning to the end, this material had nothing to do with He Yuzhu."

"As for how this He family ancestral home became Dongzi's private residence, I don't know if you ask me, but I will definitely start the renovation today. I have already applied for the renovation application at the street level."

"These workers earn more than five dollars a day."

"If I delay for one day, I will have to spend five more dollars. If Second Uncle doesn't want to help me pay for it, then get out of the way."

"If it doesn't work, I'll go find the police."

"I don't believe that even though I have a housing certificate issued by the street office, anyone would dare to rob the house in broad daylight."

"That would lead to being arrested and sent to jail."

The more Yi Zhonghai listened, the more confused he became. He didn't expect the matter to be so complicated. Even Wang Dong from the front yard was involved. It was really complicated.

If it is other residents in the yard, I can still take care of them as the second uncle.

But Wang Dong is different.

He has never been very fond of the three uncles in the yard. Besides, they are deputy directors of the steel mill's kitchen and cadres, so he has no right to manage them.

Moreover, they also have proof of their private residence, so there is no reason for me to interfere.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was feeling conflicted and wondering whether he should leave temporarily, Jia Zhang refused to do so.

From the day He Yushui got married, she treated this house as the Jia family's private residence, and was only waiting for Sha Zhu to nod before letting Bang Geng move in, and finally taking it for herself.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere and actually wanted to snatch the house away from the Jia family. How is this possible?

In the courtyard, it was always the Jia family that schemed against others and took advantage of them. It had never happened that someone else schemed against the Jia family and made them suffer. He sat down on the ground and shouted at the top of his voice: "Old Jia..."

"Come back soon and take that bastard Zhou Hui away..."

"They even robbed the houses of orphans and widows..."

"He's just a beast..."

"Old Jia, please come back soon and take a look..."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I think you haven't stayed in the countryside enough and want to go back. How dare you spread superstition in the courtyard? Can anyone help me find the street?" Just when Zhou Hui didn't know how to deal with this old pious woman, Ms. Jia Zhang, Wang Dong's voice suddenly sounded at the door, full of threats.

Jia Zhang shuddered with fear when she thought of the hard life she had lived in the countryside.

When Wang Dong was not yet a cadre, he had already made Jia Zhang obedient.

Now that he has become the deputy director of the steel mill's kitchen and a true cadre, Jia Zhang is even more afraid of him.

At the same time, he also believed that Wang Dong had the ability to send himself back to the countryside.

Decisive choice to shut up.

Seeing that everyone around him focused their attention on him, Wang Dong spoke again: "Second Uncle..."

"Do you remember the bicycle that Yu Shui brought as a dowry when she got married?"

"I provided it to He Yuzhu, plus some other things, and the price was this house where Yushui lived."

"So this house belonged to me, Wang Dong, a few days ago."

"It was impossible for me to live in the middle courtyard, so I exchanged houses with my neighbor, Brother Zhou. He gave me the house in the front courtyard, and I gave him the house in the middle courtyard."

"When the time comes, we can connect it with Uncle Chen's house and divide it into two bedrooms. When I have children in the future, I can move in directly."

"This house in the middle yard is bigger than the one in the front yard, and it can be partitioned into a small attic, so it will be more spacious for Brother Zhou's family to live in..."

“The entire replacement was carried out in the presence of the street.”

"Excuse me, uncle, is there any problem here?"

"If you don't believe me, I can go to the street and find two officers to help us prove it."

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was once again pushed to the edge of a cliff by Wang Dong.

Neither advancing nor retreating.

But Wang Dong had the courage to call the street official over, which showed that there was no problem with him exchanging houses with the Zhou family.

If I really call the street official over as a witness, it would not only embarrass me, but it might also cause dissatisfaction among the street officials.

But if the house exchange is acknowledged, it would be equivalent to admitting that the house where He Yushui lives belongs to the Zhou family from now on and has nothing to do with He Yuzhu, and it is even more impossible for it to be occupied by the Jia family.

After much deliberation, Yi Zhonghai decided to compromise.

He has suffered too many losses at the hands of Wang Dong. Now that Wang Dong is a cadre, even the street office has to give him face. In addition, Wang Dong is indeed right in this matter.

Continuing to argue with him here will only bring harm to myself and no benefit.

As for the house under your feet, since Zhou Hui has the proof, give it to him.

Anyway, Wang Dong still has an empty room.

When He Yuzhu returns to the courtyard and figures out the situation himself, he might be able to get the house back from Wang Dong.

For the Jia family, all they wanted was a house. It didn’t matter whether the house was in the front yard or the middle yard.

He immediately said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law Jia, this house in Yushui does belong to Zhou Hui."

"As for the house that Zhuzi promised you, don't worry. As Zhuzi's godfather, I will definitely ask him to give you an explanation." (End of this chapter)
